Are there KM switches, not KVM? I need just mouse/keyboard switcher

I bought a $60 Belkin KVM, and it does not work with my Mac. I have a Quicksilver, and a newer PC. The PC works fine, the mac keyboard works on it, and the Kensington mouse works fine. I switch it to the mac, and it can see neither the keyboard or the mouse.
I left the VGA cables dangling, as my monitor has 2 inputs, which allows me to use the DVI on the mac, and the vga on the PC.
Do KVM switches HAVE to have the V part hooked up?
Has anyone seen a USB keyboard/mouse only switcher?

The switch should work without video. If the mouse and keyboard work when plugged into the Mac, but not through the switch, the switch, or the USB cable from the switch to the Mac, is bad. Try a different USB cable. If that doesn't help call Belkin.
You can buy USB only switches, such as

Be sure to get the right kind, one flat socket for the keyboard/mouse, and two square sockets, one for each computer.

  • Are there any little known tweaks I need to make on my Macbook Pro w/ Retina display after installing Windows?

    Just bought a 2013 Macbook Pro w/ Retina, SSD hard drive, NVidia card....created a partition and installed Windows 8 with Bootcamp 5 to run my Steam games. My friend was telling me there are minor changes you need to make to the BIOS, don't defragment (or you'll ruin your SSD), and little things like that you have to watch out for. Can anyone tell me if there are minor changes I need to make on my computer to either help it run better, prevent damage, etc.--if so how? Please post links if you have them. Thanks!

    You can sometimes find larger capacity Retina 'daughter card' flash storage devices on eBay - but, like the OWC solution, they don't come cheap. So, as you've deduced, your best (yet not overly inexpensive, either) bet is a fast external drive. The fastest external drives would have Thunderbolt connections - I've two of LaCie's 2big Thunderbolt drives (one 4TB and one 8TB) and they're nice and fast, but not cheap.
    If I were you, I would head over to MacMall and search for Thunderbolt drives: they come with a variety of option in a variety of storage space.
    That's going to be your fastest solution, even if not highly portable.
    Good luck,

  • Are there any OSS notes side effects.

    Hello Everyone,
                            Can anyone tell me:
       Will there be any side effects if we implement OSS Notes in BW.
    Did anyone face this problem, i'm just asking you because we need to transfer a note from BW dev to BW prd, just wanted to be carefull about this and also
       Did anyone face any drawbacks after the implementation of the note?
       What if we apply the wrong note then how to rectify it? can any one suggest on this.please.

    Hi,
    Advice : You should only apply notes which you have read, once applied to the SAP Dev system you should check (you should have a checklist of things to check) and systematically go through it to see that the OSS note hasn't made something else in the system not work. Once the checks have been carried out and it has solved the original bug that you had then only should you promote it to production.

  • Are there any patch notes for 3.1.1?

    title says it all really...
    Where do they keep the patch notes for the iPod updater?
    Thanks in advance...

    Yes, there are (I'm using Nokia theme Dark (T) by LA). Try a goole search with it (I think I'm not aloud to post it here).
    As a personal opinion, it's really fabulous.

  • Are there ANY memos/notes apps that will sync with Mac, NOT "cloud"?

    In desperation I got BlueMarbleSOftware.com's "Memos" app to move memos from my now defunct Palm to my iPhone. I then discover that "Memos" can't create a new category on the iPhone. Grr. It also uses a Google Files account to move them. I keep sensitive information in my memos and I'm NOT going to put that out in the "Cloud". So, this isn't working out well.
    My question:
    Is there ANY iPhone/OS X application pair out there that will allow me to sync my notes/memos to my Mac and not to the Cloud? iTunes is a pretty poor sync mechanism since it can only allow me access to iTunes type stuff. iCal, while not very good, at least syncs with the calendar on the iPhone and contacts also sync with OSX. However, nothing that I can find will sync notes with the Mac directly. Has anyone out there found something that will? I'm happy to pay for it if it DOESN'T go through the "Cloud".
    I love my iPhone's capabilities, but Apple's restrictions on its use are dimming my enthusiasm a bit about the iPhone being a killer "do everything" box.
    Thanks,

    This sounds ideal - My read of it wasn't perfectly clear - Does it sync through the USB cable that the Apple sync uses or though a wireless connection? How good is the Mark/Space notes app? Apple's notes doesn't allow grouping by category, everything goes into one place, is the M/S notes app better than that?
    Thanks! This is looking perfect!

  • Why are there now TWO Adobe Flash Players needed to view all websites: v11.9.900 and v12.0.0.43?

    I had Adobe Flash Player v.11.9.900.170 and upgraded to v.12.0.0.43. When I checked the Add-Ons manager, both Flash versions were listed and active. I de-activated the earlier version, and now some websites indicate I do not have Flash. When I re-activated the old version, the video played fine. So what's the deal with it being necessary to have TWO versions of the Flash Player installed, the current one AND a previous one? Seems hinkey...

    @the-edmeister: Thanks for the tip, but it seems to be working OK now; tested on various sites with Flash. It may just be some bad code on Yahoo's part (wouldn't be the first time), and the Captcha works, just not its audio. Still testing, but seems like the double Flash versions issue magically solved itself, even without a re-boot. Perhaps just some squirrelly code from Adobe...

  • Why are there empty imessages in my inbox with just the name but no message?

  • I am making a montage and I am trying to make the photos do the effect where they slightly move either to the sides or up and down while they are being shown. Not a transition but just something so that they are not all stagnant on screen. Any ideas?

    I know on Windows Movie Maker it automatically adds these glide effects to your montage, but it seems very complicated to do in FCP X. I downloaded Fx Factory but that seems difficult as well. This really shouldn't be very hard. Thank you so much and I look forward to getting some insight on this.

    do a search on fcpx "ken burns". It's built into FCPx but you can also do your own, manually. first, explore the ken burns effect.

  • I just signed up for Verizon 45 days ago and am unhappy with my service? I have decided to switch to another service provider. Are there any other cancellation fees on top of the $350 per line fee? Am I stuck with the phone?

    I just signed up with Verizon 45 days ago and am unhappy with my service. I know about the ETF fee of $350/ per line but are there any other fees I will need to pay for the actual phone.

    There are no other fees. You are not stuck with the phone, you can do whatever you would like to do with it.

  • Are there any game apps that doesn't need wifi

    I just got my kids the iPod touch and some places don't have wifi that we can connect to. Are there some games that don't need wifi?

    Hello,
    Take a look at the appstore, most games do not require wifi to play, although you do need wifi to download the game initially. Try searching for the type of game your looking for. Or go to the catagories section and brows them there. Unless the description says that it is an online or multiplayer only game then it is most likely to be compatable offline.
    Go ahead and take a look. Have fun shopping around!
    Sincerely,
    ~Lt. Leviathan

  • Are there release notes for QT 7.3 (not security related)

    Are there real release notes for 7.3 , not just the security notes ....looked around but did not see anything that indicates what changes they have done.

    We are trying to determine why alert boxes are not modal
    The fix states it's for Firefox 2.0 - 3.7a1pre
    We are using 3.0.6 not the current version of 3.6.13.

    Fixed bug whereby some alert boxes weren't properly parented/owned. This led to some alerts not being properly modal

  • Is SAP Jam free for SAP customers or are there costs associated with it?

    Hiya,
    We run SAP ERP EHP 6 on Netweaver 7.31.
    I've only just come across SAP Jam and Streamworks and they looks really neat. I like the way SAP Jam can be integrated into NWBC side panels...
    Something that I'd like to demo to the business.
    I think to activate SAP Jam I need to goto SFW5 and activate BC_SRV_STW_03.
    I'm just wondering, are there any additional licensing considerations I need to consider or is it delivered 'free' to all customers?
    Many thanks!

    Thanks Rüdiger,
    So basically SAP JAM is seperate to ERP, it is a cloud product that we need to implement.
    SAP Jam is not free and requires additional licensing/costs.
    Once implemented we need to connect to it, so we need to activate BC_SRV_STW_03.
    Is that correct?
    Thansk in advance!

  • AC 8 - Does this version come stock with the email widget and print widget?  Are there other non stock widgets I should also purchase?

    Thinking of purchasing AC8 for training and quizzes / assessments.  Does it come with the print and email widgets?  Are there other widgets I might also need that don't come stock in Version 8?
    Thanks
    Tina

    Thanks Lilybiri for your response.  I had a version of Captivate version 7 and had to purchase an email piece separately so I would receive notifications on quiz completions etc.  I just need to know if that would also be the case for the print function and email function in 8.
    Thanks
